NFL Football Futures Betting – Early Super Bowl XLIII Odds
With the NFL Draft taking place this past weekend, the aroma of NFL football online betting is back in the air once again and although it will be approximately four months before the 2008 NFL regular season gets underway, wise NFL bettors know that it’s never too early to begin in their preparation for another exciting NFL wagering season in either, the Top Sportsbooks Locker Room or Our best Sportsbooks.
With that in mind, this article will look at the early NFL Odds to win Super Bowl XLIII while providing a brief comment about each team’s realistic chances of actually winning the conference title.
Now, before some NFL mini-camp gets underway, let me get busy.
The Best Bets: Simply put, this group of teams stands the best chance of reaching Super Bowl XLII in the Our best Sportsbooks.
New England Patriots +330
Despite their colossal Super Bowl XLIII loss to the New York Giants, the New England Patriots will obviously be very good again next season despite some offseason changes that will surely take place in ‘Bill Belichick Land.’ While I am by no means a Patriots follower, it’s hard to believe that they won’t be one of the top two or three teams in the AFC once again next season.
Indianapolis Colts +700
While the Colts need to shore up their defense and improve along the offensive line a bit, the fact of the matter is that, as long as sure-fire Hall of Famers, Peyton Manning and Tony Dungy are joined at the hip, this franchise will remain a perennial contender.

San Diego Chargers +700
To put it mildly, I think the Chargers may have beaten the New England Patriots in last season’s AFC Championship game had their three best offensive players, not all been injured at the same – and most inopportune – time. The Chargers could literally be the team to beat in 2008.
Jacksonville Jaguars +1400
The Jaguars have always had the defense under head coach Jack Del Rio, now all they have to do is improve their offense just a tad bit more and this franchise could find themselves in their first Super Bowl in franchise history. Naming David Garrard as the starter last season was clearly a huge step in the right direction.
New York Giants +1600
Say what you want about this team and its chances at repeating, but I think the Giants will have a better chance than most of the Super Bowl winners because of their powerful defense and the fact that their offense could be even better in 2008 with another year of experience and maturity under their collective belts.

Dallas Cowboys +800
I love head coach Wade Phillips, but I am concerned that the Cowboys’ all-out attempt to collect talent, despite the off-field baggage, will ultimately be this team’s demise. Just picture T.O. and Pacman in the same locker room … oooh boy!
Philadelphia Eagles +2000
The Eagles have been one of the best teams in all of football for the better part of the last decade under head coach Andy Reid, but the Eagles need better receivers and an improved defense if they are going to really challenge for conference supremacy.
Legitimate Contenders: This group of teas sits just on the verge of the elite teams in the league.
Pittsburgh Steelers +2000
Mike Tomlin did a more than credible job in his first season as an NFL head coach and has this team headed in the right direction. If the Steelers can find a complimentary back to go along with Sammy Parker while shoring up their normally stellar defense just a bit, don’t be surprised if the Steelers make a deep playoff run.
Cleveland Browns +3000
While I’m pretty sure the Browns will once again be able to score plenty of points on offense in 2008, I will remain skeptical until I actually see this team stop someone with their defense. Still, it’s good to see Romeo Crennel and the Browns back on the map.
Tennessee Titans +3000
Everyone knows that quarterback Vince Young is supremely athletically gifted, but the Titans young signal caller still needs to be much more effective throwing the ball on order for this team to take another step toward elite status. Even so, I fully expect head coach Jeff Fisher to keep this team in contention for the AFC title at the very least.
New Orleans Saints +2000
It was just two season ago that this club challenged for an appearance in the Super Bowl. After a dismal start and injuries doomed them last year, the Saints should be back to their contending form they displayed in 2006. Any team with Drew Brees, Reggie Bush and Duce McAllister, is going to be able to score the ball. Now, if the Saints can improve their mediocre defense, they could be in business.
The Playoffs Are A Possibility: This group of teams has a legitimate shot at reaching the postseason in 2008.
Buffalo Bills +8000
I Like the direction that head coach Dick Jauron has the Bills headed in and think this team has nothing but a bright future in front of them after posting a respectable 7-9 record last season. If the Bills can continue building their team through the draft the way they have the last couple of seasons, don’t be surprised if this team finds themselves in the postseason in 2008.
Green Bay Packers +1600
The Pack could be a playoff team in 2008 – or fall flat on their collective faces without Brett Favre leading them. I’d really, really hate to be Aaron Rodgers right now.
Denver Broncos +3500
The Broncos could be a near-Super Bowl contender or miss out on the playoffs all together depending on the progression – or regression – of young quarterback Jay Cutler.
Houston Texans +6500
The Texans are heading in the right direction under head coach Gary Kubiak and could actually nab a playoff spot this season if they take another step forward on both sides of the ball.
Minnesota Vikings +3000
The Vikings clearly have their running back of the future in Adrian Peterson, now if only Jarius Jackson can continue developing into a starting NFL quarterback. Head coach Brad Childress has this team headed in the right direction in a big way.
Seattle Seahawks +3000
Year after year, the Seahawks keep disappointing under head coach Mike Holmgren, although I’ll always say they were robbed in their Super Bowl loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers a couple of seasons ago. The playoffs may be a stretch for the Seahawks this season.
Arizona Cardinals +5000
The Arizona Cardinals are headed in the right direction under head coach Ken Whisenhunt and could seriously make the playoffs this season. As a matter of fact, I say they do!
Tampa Bay Buccaneers +4000
Quarterback Jeff Garcia could lead a band of blind men to the Super Bowl with his extraordinary leadership skills and could take the Bucs further than anyone expects heading into the 2008 season.
Not Gonna’ Happen: These teams are going nowhere fast in 2008, though some could improve on their respective 2007 seasons.
New York Jets +10000
Unless Joe ‘Broadway Joe’ Namath comes out of retirement and laces up his cleats for the beleaguered Jets – along with the likes of Joe Klecko and some of the Jets other all-time greats – head coach Eric ‘Manginius’ Mangini will continue to look like the class dunce. The Jets had better solve their quarterback issues with some sort of expediency.
Chicago Bears +4000
I’m so disappointed in head coach Lovie Smith’s inability to see that his quarterbacks, Rex Grossman and Brian Griese, are both backups, (and bad backups) at this stage of their respective careers. Even Devin Hester can’t score enough to save this team’s pathetic offense.
Kansas City Chiefs +10000
I’m amazed that folks all over the Kansas City area are praying that young signal caller Brady Croyle is going to be a starting NFL-caliber quarterback when all I see is the classic ‘deer-in-the-headlights’ look every time he takes the field. This will most likely be head coach Herm Edwards’ last season with the Chiefs.
Oakland Raiders +15000
While the Raiders may have nabbed the best player in the entire draft in former Arkansas running back Darren McFadden, this team is at least another three years away from competing for anything other than an 8-8 record.
Miami Dolphins +8000
The Dolphins, (1-15) might as well be plus two million since there is absolutely no way they are going to reach Super Bowl XLIII with all the rebuilding that Bill Parcells and Tony Sparano have to do in South Beach. Count the Fish out until the 2010 season at the earliest – if then.
Baltimore Ravens +5000
The Baltimore Ravens fell hard and fast last season in going 5-11 and have turned to former Philadelphia Eagles special teams coach John Harbaugh who certainly didn’t do anything in that position to warrant being hired as a head coach for the first time in his career. I say the Ravens will be extremely lucky to reach 8-8 next season.
Cincinnati Bengals +3500
Speaking of teams that have fallen hard and fast, the Bengals are a shell of the team that looked so promising just a couple of years ago – before most of their players began seeing more time in court than on the field. I’m giving head coach Marvin Lewis one more season to get this franchise headed in the right direction.
Washington Redskins +3000
Former NFL quarterback Jim Zorn will have his work cut out in replacing Hall of Fame legend Joe Gibbs, particularly on the defensive side of the ball where this team can’t stop running water.
Atlanta Falcons +15000
Exit Mike Vick and enter spirited young quarterback Matt Ryan, a player I think is going to be the real deal in the NFL at some point. Still, this team is eons away from competing for anything more than six wins.
Carolina Panthers +4000
I think head coach John Fox is one of the very best in all of football, but this team has taken a couple of huge steps backwards the last two seasons and is not really a playoff contender at this point.
San Francisco 49ers +5000
I’m disappointed in the huge step backwards this team took last season and still have more than my share of doubts about former No. 1 overall draft pick Alex Smith.
Detroit Lions +8000
You’ve got to be kidding, right? The Lions are toothless and head coach Rod Marinelli should be preparing his resume for his next job.
St Louis Rams +8000
The Rams had better say ‘bye-bye’ to head coach Scott Linehan or they’ll be floundering for quite some time. Enough said.
